Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly event hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week a theme is given that you compose , you guessed it, a top ten list for.

This week's topic is books I want my children to read.

I have two girls, a three year old and an almost two year old. Aubree and Olivia. I hope that they will be readers, so this list is such a fun theme for me!

I am going to choose the books that helped shape me as an avid reader and would love to see my girls cherish as much as I do.

There is also Felicity and Molly. I loved all five of the girls. I remember how excited I was every time I got my mom to get me a new one! I loved the way the covers felt.

Beverly Cleary books
I read every single one of her books in middle school and I loved them all. She was my first "favorite author."

Wayside School series by Louis Sachar
James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl
The Sign of Beaver by Elizabeth George Speare
